Passing Razor Markup to view and process it

I've searched the internet for days now with no luck finding this.

My model has a property which holds a chunk of html containing Razor markup. exmaple: 

public class ViewModel 
{
    public string Content = "<div>@Html.TextBox(\"UserName\")</div>";
}

In the view, I display that with

@Html.Raw(Server.HtmlDecode(Model.Content).toString())

I need to be able to convert the Razor markup into html, although because the Content is dropped in through the model, the view engine doesn't process it.

Any thoughts?

You could use the RazorEngine package which allows you to parse and execute Razor code. This being said I would not recommend you giving your users the power of editing directly Razor templates. You are opening a huge security hole in your website.

There are other templating engines such as DotLiquid for example which are better suited for scenarios where you don't trust user input.
